The Life In A Teenage Girl's Eyes

Chapter 3: Goodbye...

**2 years had passed**

Oh, the wonderful feeling of waking up in the morning knowing that your making your final rounds for the year. Time has passed, and I am finally in my last year of the newer school that I hated. I was so happy to leave that torture chamber. Now I can finally come back to my original school. When I got the letter in the mail, I was besides myself. The reason why I went to the other school in the 1st place was because like I said earlier that I needed "services" just because of the problems that happened from the year before (kindergarten). But whatever the case was, I was still happy to come back. Even though I had a rough beginning, my original school felt like my second home. Home away from home. The school was right down the block from me. I love walking there all the time, and spending time there. Plus my teachers knew me, so go figure! My parents weren't too happy that I attended the newer school either. They were besides themselves as well. We were all pleased that my original school was accepting me 3-6th grade. When I came back, the kids did get more mature after a while. In 3rd grade, the kids weren't too bad. They considered me the "new kid" even though that was my home school. I said to them "I'm not the new kid from school. I was here in kindergarten. You don't remember me at all"?! They were like "what's your name, again"? "Ashley Smith". Oh yeah! I remember you now! Like seriously people. I was only gone for 2 years! That's not long at all. I started getting a upgrade since I came back. I finally got some more friends as I got back to my original journey. I had like maybe 5-6 people, but so what! You don't need a thousand friends to make you popular. As long as you have 1-2 great friends that don't judge you, you're a very lucky person. I hate that feeling when kids make you believe that your their friend, but the next minute they slap you in the face. I got pulled into that trick once before. It's not fun at all. As soon as I found out that they were all fakes, I did the same thing that they did to me. I turned their backs away from me. They don't deserve my care or time in the world. I am not at school for a popularity contest. I am here to learn. Why is everyone so into popularity and being the most wanted person in the school, when really your education counts in life. To get into a great college, and to get a phenomenal job/career. But no, kids in this generation don't care about education. It's all about how many friends kids have. I have made it through my 1st year back in my original school. Although, I found out that my principal Mr. Esposito was leaving my original school to go to my middle school. We were all disappointed, but I knew that we would meet again someday. He watched me grow up. If I were to miss anyone (a school official), it would be him.
